- Well, I *was* going to go outside and practice taiji jian, but it's raining, so that's out.
- I volunteered to be a/the project manager for Bull Spec, and Sam told me he's interested and gave me a long list of things he wants to get done for the magazine. I'd been thinking more along the lines of "making sure he gets the magazine out in due time and setting deadlines" and shit, but that works, too. I could do both. (I'm not the person who's going to do the tasks; I'm just going to make sure things happen in a timely fashion.)
So today, I'm going to sit down and sketch out some project plans, then email Sam back so we can get together with Melinda, who's been handling the advertising & stuff, and talk about things.
- Put laundry away.
- Have a celebratory beer for Hertha's 2-0 win over VFR Aalen this morning.
- Do some more research for the massive Berlin travel planning spreadsheet (which has grown and become more detailed since I posted it whenever that was). I really like planning things; this is why I should become a project manager. Clearly.
Also, project management is a very portable skill, and if I get the PMP certification (which requires 4500 hours/3 years FT experience if you have a college degree), it's apparently globally recognized.
And I just really like planning shit.

Er, it says it's cross-platform, but the download link only talks about XP and Vista. Um?Oh, nvm, the OSX download link was hiding off the front page. :P
